Franz Liszt’s Transcendental Etudes are the pinnacle of piano music, transcending the usual limits of possibility. This is music in which virtuosity becomes a challenge and sound becomes a force that can fully engage the listener.
Pianist Rafael Gutierrez-Velez takes up the challenge and performs the entire cycle – a bold and rare decision that few performers take on.
It’s not just a concert.
It’s about tension, risk, energy and absolute concentration.
From violent outbursts to almost impalpable silence, every sound leads beyond the boundaries.
A rare opportunity to hear one of the most challenging pieces of piano music live.
